How to choose a 3PL in Europe

Long aisle in a large warehouse with tall racks of boxes on both sides — Start with what your stock needs and where your customers are, then compare providers that state exactly that.

Europe is one market for selling but not for logistics. Every country has its own carriers, language, delivery habits and, in the EU, its own VAT rate. Narrow the list down with four questions:

What does your stock need? Online orders need a 3PL that does eCommerce fulfilment. Chilled food, medicines and batteries need cold chain, pharma or dangerous goods specialists with the right licences.
Where are your customers? A warehouse in or next to your biggest market gives you next-day delivery there. The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany sit next to Europe’s largest ports; Poland and Czechia offer lower costs in the middle of the continent.
Which certifications matter for your product? GDP for medicines, BRCGS or IFS for food, AEO for smoother customs, TAPA for high-value goods.
Who will you talk to? 519 of the 680 companies have an English version of their website. The filter below shows only those.

Free tool: find a matching 3PL in 30 seconds

Pick what you sell, where you need a warehouse and how many orders you ship. The finder searches the verified directory for companies that state that service on their own website.

Netherlands: 112 companies

The largest group in the directory, and 60 of them state eCommerce fulfilment. Rotterdam alone has eight. AEO (18) and the organic certification SKAL (14) are the certifications Dutch providers publish most, which reflects the port and food trade. Next to Rotterdam port, the Netherlands is a natural first warehouse for goods arriving by sea. See fulfilment in the Netherlands.

Germany: 71 companies

Europe’s biggest eCommerce market has 34 providers stating eCommerce fulfilment and 15 stating pharma or medical logistics, the highest pharma count of any country here. GDP is the certification German providers publish most often (11). See fulfilment in Germany.

Poland: 46 companies

Poland combines lower labour costs with a central location: 28 companies state eCommerce fulfilment, 20 cold chain and 11 pharma. Warsaw has eight of them, then Łódź and Gdynia. See fulfilment in Poland.

Spain, France and Italy: 129 companies

Southern Europe’s three largest markets have 54, 48 and 27 verified companies, and Barcelona and Madrid have six each. ISO 9001 is the most published certification in Spain (12) and Italy (13). Only half of the French and Italian providers have an English website, so plan for local-language contact. Waredock also runs a warehouse in Spain: see eCommerce fulfilment in Spain.

Nordics and Baltics: 107 companies

Sweden (27), Finland (24), Denmark (21), Lithuania (19), Estonia (7), Latvia (6), Norway (2) and Iceland (1). Most have English websites, but few state eCommerce fulfilment outside Denmark and Sweden. Waredock serves Finland and Sweden from Estonia; see fulfilment in Estonia, Finland and Sweden, or our comparison of Nordic and Baltic fulfilment companies.

United Kingdom and Ireland: 55 companies

The UK (37) and Ireland (18) are outside and inside the EU respectively, so stock in a UK warehouse needs customs for EU orders. BRCGS is the certification UK providers publish most (9), reflecting the food trade. If you sell in the EU too, compare a UK site with EU stock; see EU fulfilment for non-EU brands.

Certifications European 3PLs publish

A certification is only useful if it matches your product. 234 of the 680 companies publish at least one on their website. These are the most common:

Certifications as stated on company websites, November 2026. BRC and BRCGS counted together.

Certification	What it covers	Companies	Look for it if you sell
ISO 9001	Quality management system	122	Anything; a basic sign of documented processes
AEO	EU Authorised Economic Operator status for customs and security	77	Goods imported from outside the EU
ISO 14001	Environmental management	69	Brands with sustainability targets
GDP / GMP	Good Distribution / Manufacturing Practice for medicines	44 / 24	Medicines, medical devices, some supplements
BRCGS and IFS Logistics	Food safety in storage and distribution	40 / 22	Food, drinks, supplements
TAPA	Security for high-value goods	12	Electronics, jewellery, luxury
SKAL / Ecocert	Organic product handling	14 / 5	Organic food and cosmetics

Selling cosmetics or supplements? Our provider comparisons for cosmetics and beauty and health and supplements go deeper on batch and expiry handling.

Not publishing a certification doesn’t mean a company has none; many list them only in tenders. Ask for the certificate and check it covers the site that would handle your goods.

eCommerce, cold chain, pharma or dangerous goods?

Each company has one main category, but many state several services. Use the service buttons in the directory to combine them, for example eCommerce plus pharma in Germany.

Service stated on website	Companies	Start here if you need
eCommerce fulfilment	284	Single orders to consumers, marketplaces, returns
B2B / wholesale	135	Pallet and carton orders to retailers and distributors
Cold chain	122	Chilled or frozen food, temperature-controlled storage
Pharma / medical	93	Medicines, medical devices, GDP-compliant storage
Dangerous goods	99	Batteries, aerosols, chemicals, some perfumes

Storage temperature, product type and warehouse size

Many buyers start from what their goods need. The directory has three extra filters, based only on what each company states on its website:

Filter	Options	Companies
Storage temperature	Frozen (-18°C or colder) · Chilled (0 to +8°C) · Controlled ambient (+15 to +25°C)	40 · 134 · 28
Product type	Food and drinks, fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, dairy and eggs, bakery, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fashion, chemicals, automotive parts, furniture	55 food · 97 pharma
Warehouse size	Stated floor area (10,000+ to 100,000+ m²) or pallet spaces (5,000+ or 10,000+)	99 with 10,000+ m² · 13 with 10,000+ pallet spaces

Where a company publishes its temperature ranges, warehouse address or capacity, it is shown in its listing and in the CSV. Most companies don’t publish all of this, so a missing value means not stated, not not offered.

From long list to shortlist: a 5-step checklist for Europe

Person with a clipboard inspecting empty shelving in a warehouse — Ask every shortlisted provider which site would handle your goods and who runs it.

1. Send everyone the same brief

Products, sizes and weights, number of SKUs, orders per month and in peak, units per order, sales channels, returns rate and your main customer countries. Comparable briefs give comparable quotes.

2. Check the exact site and its services

Ask which warehouse would handle your account, who operates it and which services are subcontracted. A group with 30 sites may run your type of orders in only one of them.

3. Compare the full bill

Ask for a priced normal month and peak month: receiving, storage, pick and pack, packaging, shipping, returns, integrations and minimums. See fulfilment costs.

4. Settle VAT, customs and carriers early

Storing stock in another EU country usually means a VAT registration there, and goods from outside the EU need a customs representative. Ask which carriers each provider uses for your main countries. See the €3 EU customs duty and EU fulfilment for non-EU brands.

5. Plan one market or several

One 3PL per country means several contracts, systems and stock pools. If you sell in several EU countries, compare that with one partner that covers them from a few hubs.

One partner instead of one 3PL per country

Most brands we talk to start with a list like this one and end up wanting fewer contracts, not more. Waredock offers storage and fulfilment in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Estonia, serving Finland and Sweden from Estonia, with freight and customs on the same platform. Our team and AI agents work together, so you see stock, orders and costs in one place.

How this directory was compiled

We started from a list of about 1,080 European companies offering warehousing, fulfilment or contract logistics, collected from business databases, logistics directories and our own research. Every company’s website was opened and read in November 2026. A company is in this directory only if its website loaded, belonged to that company and showed that it runs a logistics service for other companies’ goods: 3PL or contract logistics, warehousing, fulfilment, pick and pack, returns handling or similar. We left out construction companies, warehouse landlords, software and equipment suppliers, wholesalers selling their own goods, parcel brokers and pure transport companies. That left 680 companies.

Services, certifications, capacities, temperature ranges and website languages are shown only when the company states them on its own website. Companies whose websites didn’t load, redirected to another business or only mentioned storage in passing are not included yet; we’re re-checking them for the next update. Inclusion is free, and the directory is not a ranking or a recommendation. Spotted an error or want your company added? Tell us and we’ll check it.

Frequently asked questions

Which European country has the most 3PL companies?

In this directory the Netherlands has the most 3PL and warehouse operators (112), followed by Germany (71), Spain (54), France (48) and Poland (46).

How many 3PLs in Europe offer eCommerce fulfilment?

284 of the 680 companies state on their website that they offer eCommerce fulfilment. The Netherlands (60), Germany (34), Poland (28) and France (28) have the most.

Which certifications should a European 3PL have?

It depends on your product: ISO 9001 shows documented quality processes, AEO helps with customs, GDP is needed for medicines, BRCGS or IFS for food, and TAPA for high-value goods. Ask for the certificate and check it covers the site that would store your goods.

Do I need a 3PL in every EU country I sell to?

No. Many brands serve several EU countries from one or two warehouses, with parcel carriers delivering across borders in two to five days. A local warehouse helps where you need next-day delivery or sell large volumes.

Can I download the list?

Yes. Download all 680 companies as a CSV file, or tick companies in the directory and download your own shortlist. The data is free to reuse under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) licence, as long as you credit Waredock with a link to this page.

How were the companies verified?

Each company’s own website was opened and read in November 2026. Only companies whose website worked, belonged to the company and showed an operated logistics service for other companies’ goods are included. Services and certifications are shown only when the company states them.

Can Waredock handle fulfilment across Europe?

Yes. Waredock offers storage and fulfilment in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Estonia, serves Finland and Sweden from Estonia, and handles freight and customs on the same platform. Request a proposal on this page and we reply within 2 business days.
